Ronnie's POV 

     I went to our room as told. When I entered, I saw a maiden. Victoria, was it? "What are you doing here?" I ask. The maiden turns towards me, looking shocked. "Nothing. What are you doing here?" She replied. "This is my room." I say. The girl hums before walking towards me. "I'm pretty sure this is Lady Dimitrescu's room? Not yours. Silly girl." Victoria said, stopping in front of me. I grit my teeth. Victoria grabs my face, making me look at her. "Do you think you're special? Hah! Yeah, right. Lady Dimitrescu would never fall for someone so simple. She'd never fall for a maiden, or rather a previous maiden? Hm?" Before I could reply, Lady Dimitrescu walked in covered in blood.

     As soon as she saw the situation, her face twisted into pure rage. "Victoria, get your hands off my lover. Now." Alcina commanded. Victoria immediately let go. Lady Dimitrescu walked over, grabbing Victoria's throat and throwing her across the room. "I heard what you said. I love Ronnie. With all my heart. Sure, they didn't come from wealth and riches. Sure, they aren't noble. But I don't care. They are mine as I am theirs. Do I make myself clear, maiden?" Alcina said in a stern, angry tone as she got closer to Victoria. "Ye-yes, my lady! I understand." Was Victoria's reply just as Lady Dimitrescu sliced her to ribbons. 

     "Bela! Cassandra! Come here." Alcina said loud enough for them to hear. Moments later the two sisters come buzzing in, morphing into their human bodies. "Could you two please clean this mess? You can do whatever you want with what's left of the body. I would have a maiden do it however they're all dead." Alcina said, turning around to face us. "Yes, Mother." Was the girl's reply before getting to work. Lady Dimitrescu looked at me. "Did she hurt you?" The tall woman asked. "No, she didn't." I replied. "Good. I will be in the bath. I'll have my daughters put out my clothes. In the meantime, I'd like you to go straight to the library. Understand?" Alcina said, her golden eyes burning into my skull. I nod. She smiles and proceeds to the bathroom. 

     I left the room and headed towards the library. 'Did that just happen? Did Lady Dimitrescu actually stand up for me? Did she really admit to loving me? Like, I already know but she sounded so serious yet passionate.' I think to myself, stopping in front of the library. I sigh, thinking to myself, 'This was Daniela's favorite place when she wasn't hunting or torturing.' I walk inside the library. It just seemed so dull and lifeless since Daniela was usually in here. 

     I walked around a little bit, trying to find a book. I groaned not being able to find a book that I liked. Giving up, I make my way to a chair sitting in it. "I wonder how long Alcina is going to be." I say to myself, head down. "Not long at all, dear." My head shoots up to be met with a tall vampire three feet away. I look up at Lady Dimitrescu. "Oh, hi!" I say with a small wave. Alcina chuckles. 

     As soon as I stand up, Lady Dimitrescu picks me up and carries me to our room which is already clean. 'That was fast.' She sets me down on the bed. "It's already 9:00pm, dear. What would you like to wear to bed?" Lady Dimitrescu asks. "Is nothing an option.." I mumble to myself as a joke. "Yes, that'd be an option." Alcina replies, smirking. I look up at her. "It was a joke! I swear, it was a joke. Tempting. But a joke. Besides, boobs are a bit wonky so-" before I could finish, Lady Dimitrescu chimed in," No. We are NOT going to talk bad about ourselves. You are beautiful. Your skin, ass, breasts, eyes, nose, ears, smile are beautiful. Your personality is beautiful. Don't doubt your beauty, darling." I hummed in response.

     After a bit I said, "I guess I'll just sleep in my panties on then." Alcina smiled as I began to undress until only in my bottom undies. Lady Dimitrescu turned out the light before we both got comfortable under the covers, holding each other close as we slept peacefully.
